If you head to the mall, you might expect to find the usual suspects: Macy's, Foot Locker, Claire's, Bath & Body Works, and maybe Sbarro for lunch. What you might not expect? Indoor pickleball courts.

Pickleball is the fastest growing – and perhaps the noisiest – sport in the country. As the sport grows, so does demand for places to play. Indoor pickleball courts are popping up all over the country.

But these aren't your standard, parks and recreation-managed, courts. They're privately-owned and generating lots of foot traffic, while also solving some of the sport's problems.
